The Republic of Mandeville is a very large, orderly nation, remarkable for its state-planned economy, zero percent divorce rate, and devotion to social welfare. The cynical, devout population of 143 million Mandevilleans are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."
The enormous, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Welfare, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 77.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The sizeable but sluggish Mandevillean economy, worth 4.21 trillion caribs a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is dominated by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Woodchip Exports, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 29,445 caribs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Every week is blindness awareness week, all artwork is carefully screened for offensive material, school uniforms are compulsory, and pareidolic SETI scientists swear there's a message from aliens hidden within pi. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Mandeville's national animal is the Red-billed streamertail, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Mandeville is ranked 165,171st in the world and 3,596th in The North Pacific for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 201.74 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
